C++ Standard Template Library in Practice - Random Access Iterators

The video tutorial explains random access iterators, which allow accessing elements at arbitrary positions like pointers. It covers the requirements for random access iterators, including constant time handling of numeric offsets. A code example demonstrates iterators with vectors and lists, highlighting the limitations of list iterators due to their linked structure. The tutorial also shows how to use the standard advance function to efficiently handle different iterator types. The video concludes with a preview of auxiliary iterator functions to be covered in the next video.
